Arsenal have not given up on bringing Wayne Rooney and Luis Suarez to the Emirates and are hoping the signing of Mesut Ozil will persuade their top transfer targets to move to north London in the January window.

The Gunners continued their impressive recovery, following an opening day home defeat to Aston Villa, with a 3-1 win at Sunderland on Saturday.
